Thank you

She seems to be breathing even heavier and struggling to try to move. Should I give her another warm bath or something?

So happy she is doing good!!! Can you post some pics of your baby...just for fun!!!

I am so sorry!! I had just looked over the thread and not read all of it. I had no idea this happened again. If it is egg binding you can put her in a warm bath and give her some calcium. Try not to break the egg inside her if it is egg binding. Also if it helps her you can put her in a dark quiet room to calm her down so she can pass the egg. If she refuses to go into the dark room then try to get her to stay in the warm tub. Also some herbs might calm her down if you had some to put around the dark room if she lets you take her in there.

See how her tail is dipping down. This is from her straining. Is yours doing anything like this?

Thank you she’s In a warm bath now and I’ll turn the lights out and grab her some oyster shells and kale. All my ducks get plenty of calcium bc I’ve always worried about this happening so I’m hoping she’ll improve soon.

Yes!! Her tail is dipping down too. She’s also panting heavily and her legs are out behind her.

If you still have those poultry vitamins, go ahead and give her a good dose.

She is definitely egg binding. I will look and see if I can find a article about how to prevent egg binding. I have read it can be a genetic gene, but still we do not want this to happen. It must be painful so keep her calm. She does not need to stress cuz it could cause her to get scared and end up breaking the egg inside her.
